Yes, I have a dexcom and it isn't related to blood sugars. I know my profile says T2 but I was incorrectly diagnosed for a few months and can't modify my profile. Asked for moderator help and he/she couldn't do it either. T1.5 in Tresiba and Novolog.

Anyone else have intermittent fatigue, tingling across face, brain fog, melancholy, sweats, suppressed appetite, headache? Trying to advocate for myself. Tired of hearing it's anxiety. I think it's thyroid or parathyroid or other endocrine process. Blood tests coming later this week but I am...

My endo immediately took me off oral medication and started long acting insulin (Tresiba) when my antibody tests came back positive. I felt better, blood sugar was more stable and had very few lows. Conflicting evidence is out there regarding the beta cell overproduction theory. Good luck. Best...

I too suffer from frequent night sweats related to changing blood sugar. My doctor believes I am highly sensitive to insulin but I am only taking Tresiba now. It occurs less frequently when my diet is low carb and lower fat. Doc recommended frequent exercise and lots of water. When I was...

Does anyone else suffer from capillaries bursting as a result of minimal use or impact? I seem to have blowouts in my fingers and toes weekly but recently had a vein in my arm cause a pretty significant bruise. Is this diabetes related? I have appointments scheduled next week with both my GP and...

I have come across conflicting information regarding the use of glic in type 1.5. When misdiagnosed as t2, I was using met and glic. My doc d/c'd both after antibody test results came back and started me on Tresiba 1/day. With carb restricted diet (around 10-30 per meal), I am able to maintain...

Hello. I am newly diagnosed LADA and having identical struggles with weight loss. My doc took me off of Metformin when my antibody test results came in and put me on Tresiba. I manage my blood sugar with a somewhat restricted carb diet. With that, I too can maintain stable weight. Recently, my...

171 this morning after changing insulin last night. Calling my doctor this morning. [emoji20]

Newly diagnosed LADA. On Tresiba only at bedtime. Finished cgm trial a few weeks ago with average A1C of 5.8 and only 3% outside range. Relaxed low carb restrictions a bit, now have a cold. Tresiba pen was outside in a bag in my car during a snowstorm for several hours last weekend. Things are...

Hi KatieLou! This is my first response on the forum but I have been following it daily since my diagnosis in August last year. I can't even tell you how many times I could have written your post! I'm glad you were able to articulate your concerns and questions. This forum is amazing. First, let...
